Chapter 14: Looking Back in Time
"So how are they doing Carson?" Elizabeth asked looking towards her CMO.
"Alright." He admitted. "They're stable."
"Should I call their friends?"
"No." He stated with a shake of his head. "They seem to be getting stronger..."
And with that, the leader of Atlantis and its Chief Medical Officer looked towards the two sleeping people in the Atlantean infirmary and wondered what was going on.
ooo
The maze turned into a field of stars and Daniel and Vala saw their memories pass before their eyes.
"Uh- General- What can I do for you?"
"SG-12 has encountered a woman off world called Vala Mal Doran-"
"Oh no-"
"I've read your report Dr. Jackson- is she really all that bad?"
"Worse. She is a lying, deceiving space pirate who will do anything to make a profit."
"She's that bad huh?"
"Oh yes, she's that bad. If I were you General, I would have nothing to do with her."
"Ah I see."
"Um, just out of curiosity-what does she want?"
"Well she claims to have a tablet that leads to an incredible treasure buried by the ancients."
"Really? Ancient buried treasure?"
"That's what she says. But I'll tell SG-12 to tell her that we're not interested and-"
"Oh General-I mean I know I said that she is untrustworthy and all but if this really is ancient treasure it could be worth it. This tablet may be... something."
"So Dr. Jackson-are you saying that we should let her through?"
"What I'm saying is that we should see what she has to offer-but we should take precautions."
"I'll see too it. I'll go tell SG-12 to let her though."
ooo
"Now I could have come by ship and looked for it myself but I know nothing about your fair planet. Other that it seems to have a rather interesting if somewhat limited gene pool Why don't we get started- eh boys?"
"Yes lets. The sooner I can translate this the sooner I can get going."
"Oh- Are you going somewhere Daniel?"
"Atlantis"
ooo
More memories passed and soon they were reliving the moments leading up to their leaving for Atlantis.
"Daniel, what are you doing?"
"Getting the knowledge that we need to defeat the Ori,"
"No! No, Daniel…. DANIEL!"
Vala was in the process of hitting the clamping device that held his head when it suddenly released him. Vala saw that Daniel was very unsteady on his feet and as he fell backwards, she slowly lowered him to the ground.
"Daniel, Daniel please, wake up. Daniel, you have to wake up."
ooo
"Daniel?"
"Hmm?"
"Why'd you do it?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you download the knowledge of the ancients?"
ooo
"I need to prove to you that this works!"
"Alright. I'll do it. Like the first time we met…"
"Vala, just do it."
"Alright, alright…..just know that I am deriving absolutely no pleasure from this --- Ow! Daniel!"
"Didn't feel a thing."
ooo
"Well, We're all rooting for you, at the very least What? I've been on Earth for a while now Daniel, you shouldn't look so surprised that I've gotten one of your saying right."
Vala flashed Daniel one of her classic grins and Daniel couldn't help chuckle in amusement at Vala. She truly was one of the brighter spots in his life- especially in the war against the Ori.
'You know, one day I'm really going to have to tell her how glad I am that she's back.' Daniel thought to himself as he closed his eyes. 'And tell her how much she means
ooo
"Daniel-" Vala interrupted as the last memory passed by.
"- I know." Daniel finished, knowing exactly what his beloved fiancée was going to say. "I never said it- but I thought it."
"Somehow," Vala began slowly a smile spreading on her face. "-even way back then I knew that your feelings had changed about me."
"They never changed..." Daniel stated pulling Vala closer to him. "...not really."
